    Extremely hard wood

    I'm working on a vase right now from a cherry stump. It is so hard it dulls my Thompson gouge after one pass. This piece is making me feel like I just started turning. This thing is so frustrating its makes me want to quit turning for the day. It had been drying for at least five years under the deck, so it is completely dry.

    Do do you guys have any tips to get this thing finished, besides perseverance.

    Here is the piece in question.
